some police funded assholes walking around your town, spying on text messages through electronic reading devices.
you can spot readers by seeing a random guy (or gal) walking around town with a cell phone or handheld device and they stop in the middle of their walk and wave their electronic device in the air like they lost a signal or something----this happens when they are reading a person who is onto them and has the insight to take out their battery.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
